My Experience with KIKO Milano Smart Fast Dry Nail Lacquer:

Packaging:

Packaging is small, light weight and easy to travel with just as brand described : “Modern design for a brand new transparent glass packaging and matt black cap with the KK logo engraved on top. The maxi brush with a large number of hairs facilitates picking up the nail polish and the gradual release on the nail for an even layer without streaks. Thanks to the compact packaging, you can always take Smart Nail Lacquer for a perfect manicure anywhere.”

The brush applicator is dense and small and perfect to apply nail lacquer even on smaller nails.

Texture & Pigmentation:

KIKO Milano Smart Fast Dry Nail Lacquer has metallic, gel like and pearly finish in different shades. There are literally 103 shades in the range though not all are available in India. The texture is not too runny and not too thick which makes it quite opaque in 1 coat. Though 2 coats will give you exact color and opaqueness. The sahdes comes exactly same on nails as they look in bottle.

These nail lacquers are actually fast dry. By the time I am done applying it on both hands, first coat already dries down so it is really easy for a person like me who always end up messing nailpolish application because it is not completely dry :(. So I love these as they actually dry down fast and thus it is easy to layer them up.

Shades & Finish:

I have 3 shades from KIKO Milano Smart Fast Dry Nail Lacquer range : 67 Light Crimson, 89 Metallic Forest Green and 93 Pearly Greyish Green.

1. KIKO Milano Smart Fast Dry Nail Lacquer 67 Light Crimson: It is normal glossy finish and have good pigmentation. This particular one I applied 3 coasts and then I noticed my hair imprint on it next day. 2 coats work fine.

2. KIKO Milano Smart Fast Dry Nail Lacquer 89 Metallic Forest Green: It is very golden green kinda shade which looks more like golden with hint of green. It is gorgeous color with metallic finish, fully opaque in 2 coats and it shines bright in sunlight.

3. KIKO Milano Smart Fast Dry Nail Lacquer 93 Pearly Greyish Green: It has pearly finish which means it is not as shiny as metallic one. The color is dark greyish brown with slight shift and hint of deep green. It i also fully opaque in 2 coats.

Staying Power:

Coming to staying power of KIKO Milano Smart Fast Dry Nail Lacquers, these stay put on my nails good 4 days then starts to fade from top. Minding the fact that I do house chores and cooking, it is a great stayiong power. It definitely survives whole week without looking dreading that I should take it off. Also these do not chip even when I cook or chop vegetables.

Swatches:

1. KIKO Milano Smart Fast Dry Nail Lacquer 67 Light Crimson:

2. KIKO Milano Smart Fast Dry Nail Lacquer 89 Metallic Forest Green:

3. KIKO Milano Smart Fast Dry Nail Lacquer 93 Pearly Greyish Green:

Final Verdict: 4.8/5

KIKO Milano Smart Fast Dry Nail Lacquers are definitely good when it comes to color payoff, finish, staying power and fast drying time. They have huge shade and finish options. The only thing I feel is that they are slightly over-priced but if you get these on sale then they are definitely steal. I am definitely going to pick more shads while they are still on sale 🙂
